| - | On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing [[Trogdor]] and Strong Bad T-shirts.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === ''Buffy'' ===
| + | |
| - | In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === ''Angel'' ===
| + | |
| - | In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

| - | === ''Megas XLR'' ===

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === ''Pulse Interview'' ===
| + | |
| - | In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real. (I don't know if you can find any of this episode on the internet but I did record it, but I don't know how I would be able to put it on the internet.
